Such slicers exist and they are free and open source. There is Cura, Sli3r, and, what I use now, Prusa's fork of Sli3r, PrusaSlicer. All run on your local machine, no cloud bs to deal with. MakerGear appears to have partnered with S3D for the M3 as that seems to be the only supported setup. I can find nothing about using the M3 with other slicers, let alone anything official, which is kinda of disappointing.

2019-08-30 07:30:51 +0000 UTCWhy is that 3D printer so complicated. With my Original Prusa i3 MK 2 I just slice the file in PrusaSlicer copy it to a SD card and put it in the printer.
2019-08-29 13:56:00 +0000 UTCI don't understand. You are saying you have to upload to Makergear AFTER octoprint? Octorprint should be sending the code directly to the printer. There is no need for it to be on the internet at all. Sure if you want to access it over your lan you have to use wifi or ethernet. But if you are that paranoid about people trying to access your printer turn the Pi you are running Octoprint into it's own Access point and that way you connect to it, not it connects to anything else. You could even transfer the files over via serial port if you like a challenge. I agree with your whole heartily about having a locally controlled device which is why Linux is so kick ass. You can run anything self hosted if you want to. Maybe reach out to the octoprint people and ask them how best to solve your problems. Thanks for the tips though. Very appreciated
